The military intelligence sleuth stressed, however, "I'm not criticizing the Bush administration here. They're doing everything in their power to prevent this now. I think they're fully behind what we're doing. I think the Pentagon right now is fully behind me trying to get the word out and trying to get to the bottom of this."

But what this points to is yet another Klintoon fiasco, and this time it was one of the deadliest and most damaging in history.

Maybe fata$$ Michael Moore would like to do a movie about how BJ knew there might be an attack coming and made it impossible to tell the FBI.

What does Richard Clarke have to say about Able Danger?

"Maybe fata$$ Michael Moore would like to do a movie about how BJ knew there might be an attack"

Michael Moore should be profoundly embarrassed - if he was capable of the emotion.

"Because at the same time she pulled that out, we then were trying to look at how we could exploit that information. And that's where the lawyers got involved."

Typical lawyers. They screw everything up and then send you a bill for 50% more hours than they actually worked at $300 per hour.

Last year there was a stink about some PDB. This is more serious than some stupid PDB imho..

[maxter]

Who are these lawyers? What is their story?

[mercy]

Time for another Able Danger whistle blower to come out.

[darkwing104]

This in the leftist's warped world will be spun into a "Bush Knew" spew...

[sydbas]

Why wasn't the Bush administration briefed before the attack?

"...she took that very poster [with Mohamed Atta] to Congressman [Curt] Weldon," Shaffer said. "And I have to say he took it right to Michael Hadley, I believe, over at the NSC."

Who is Michael Hadly.. doesn't he mean Stephen Hadly?

[ovrtaxt]

Now this really p!sses me off. Why did they cover for the Clintons? Why did they keep Tenet around for far too long? Why didn't they honor the dead with the truth? Why do we have wide open borders to this day? Why do we have the silliest excuse for airport security, maximum inconvenience and minimal profiling?

Well, it's nice to know that we were right all along, that as more info is declassified, our well founded suspicions are being validated. Unfortunately, the more we find out, the more the Bush Admin is going to have to answer for their inaction regarding Clinton.

And that's where the lawyers got involved.

Famous last words. Just ask the people who died in the towers.

The big problem here is that Bush has been reluctant to go after the past administration. Even where it's warranted. This "uniter not a divider" thing, I feel, has been taken a little bit too far. Sometimes, you have to be mean.

[wideminded]

Asked why he didn't go public before this week with the news that his group had been tracking Atta during the Clinton administration, Able Danger team member Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer told ABC radio host Sean Hannity:

I saw this guy on TV and my impression was that he couldn't give a straight answer to any of the questions posed. It was all pretty vague. I'd like to hear more details from other people who can explain exactly what happened.

Shaffer said that immediately after the 9/11 attacks, this same colleague alerted him to the fact that the Able Danger team had developed intelligence on the hijack team, a detail he hadn't noticed.

If it was actionable intelligence why did he not notice it? Maybe it was just something in a mass of information that had been gathered whose relevance was not noticed until after 9/11.

waiting for the "above the fold" stories in the SLIMES,WASH POST Boston Globe yada yada

[conservative in nyc]

I'm surprised it took so long for someone to notice that the White House was told about the Able Danger-Atta identification 2 weeks after 9/11. Rep. Weldon said as much in his House floor statements back in June. He was even hinting at it in a speech he gave to the Institute for Foreign Policy Analysis in December 2003.

[ladyinred]

LOL! I have a feeling Michael Moore than enough and the MSM don't want anything to do with this story other than perhaps saying that Bush was briefed! That they may talk about leaving out the quote that says he isn't to blame!

This should be the biggest scandal in our history, and would be had a republican president been in office at the time. If this doesn't prove media bias, nothing on earth does.

[TheForceOfOne]

Congressman Weldon has previously described three attempts by Able Danger to brief the FBI on the Atta intelligence, before being blocked by lawyers at the Clinton Pentagon.

Those lawyers have yet to be identified.

Lawyers! freaking lawyers! Clinton Pentagon lawyers! Supreme Court lawyers!

lawyers! lawyers! lawyers! lawyers!

Houston, we have a problem.
